    Hi sdhn ,

    you can do it like this:

     

     

     

    Sum of Profit = SUM('Table'[Profit])

Percentage = DIVIDE([Sum of Profit],CALCULATE([Sum of Profit], ALL('Table')))

     

     

    With kind regards from the town where the legend of the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin' is at home

      Table real name is MailPackage and Column name is MAIL COUNT instaed of Profit. 

      I am getting following message.

       

      I right clicked on Table and choose New Column and insert following code:

       

      The syntax for 'sum' is incorrect. (DAX(DIVIDE(MailPackage[MAIL COUNT]sum(MailPackage[MAIL COUNT])))).

        I added "," before sum and its work BUT

         

        Please note:

        I have a total of mail count (Profit in above example)  in the last row.  

        It is 280 in above example.

         

        I want to get result of percentage as mail counts/total mail counts * 100 for each row in the newly percentage column as below:

         

        60/280*100

        80/280*100

        40/280*100

        90/280*100

        10/280*100

         

        Thanks
